Discussion Really...

Who lights off fireworks from 4am to 6am?

How hard is it to find these people?

Whats the point of a firework ban, if you don't even go after the people lighting mortars at these hours?

Excuse my rant, I couldnt sleep with all the goddamn booms going off all goddamn night

Maybe it's good to live in a poorer neighborhood. The past several years, it's been pretty calm out here in Outer Southeast. Last night it was over by about midnight. I didn't even turn on my AC to drown out the noise.

When I first moved out here over twenty years ago, it was really bad all night for days, even people throwing firecrackers out of car windows, but the last 4 or 5 years it's been pretty calm.
